A wiki is much like a web page where you can easily add text, links, images, embed audio or video and use normal word processing features like tables. What makes a wiki a valuable learning tool is that a group of people can work together and contribute their ideas and resources that they find. Also, the wiki is a place where you can discuss the information that people post to the wiki. Remember to follow the Appropriate Use Guidelines for a Wiki or Blog.
Use this online space to gather evidence to help you decide which side of the issue you support, and to help you strengthen your argument. In a debate, you are trying to make a point, eg. "Stem cell research is a valuable way to improve the quality of life for many people with serious illnesses."
